Thus, ceramic proppant costs continue to increase. Moreover, when bauxite is used as the main raw material, the density of the prepared ceramic proppants is usually high because of the abundant alumina (Al 2 O 3) formation [6]. When pumped, ceramic proppants settle because of their high density. This scenario is not conducive to hydraulic ...
